August Event

This event has been around the longest of any events we offer, 65 years. Some of our guests have been attending since the first years of this event.

This event is all about fun. Equine enthusiasts do most of their trail riding early in the morning to avoid the intense afternoon heat. More than half the guests attending don’t bring a horse. These folks come for the river, relaxation, and fun! Most guests spend their afternoons at the river floating, swimming, or just relaxing. The evenings are filled with music and dancing at our outdoor dance floor. No dogs are allowed at this event. We welcome service dogs, but only service dogs not pets. Guests will be asked to register service dogs with our office upon arrival and will be expected to keep the dog under control and on a leash at all times the animal is outside a trailer. Guests will be asked to describe the task their service dog is trained to perform for them. A certificate from the internet or a service dog vest will not be adequate verification.

Cross Country Trail Ride will be taking the following precautions in order to provide a safe environment for our guests:

*All guests will be required to sanitize their hands before entering CCTR Restaurant or Dining Hall.*In May, the dining area will be closed and guests will fill their plates and eat at one of the outdoor tables or at their campsite.*We will be limiting the number of guests in CCTR Restaurant so that we can allow for 6′ distancing during food service and will ask guests to space themselves 6′ apart while going through the food line.*In June, the dining hall will be open for food service. The food bar will be open from 11:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m. daily for lunch and dinner to help with long lines. Guests will be asked to maintain a 6′ space between them while in line. Guests will be able to eat inside the dining hall, but will also have the option to take their meal back to their campsite if they are more comfortable.*We encourage all guests to practice good physical hygiene during your stay with us and wash your hands with soap and water regularly.*All guests will be encouraged to practice social distancing when gathering around campfires or at the dance.

We have presented our plans to the Shannon County Health Department and to our local health inspector for approval. They have both approved these plans and we are making every effort to follow the guidelines suggested by the State of Missouri. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
